Personal Development

A translation company who has increased their turnover tenfold over the last 2 years had not given their Management Team any Personal Development. For the company to make further progress management training and assessment was established.

How did we get involved?

By completing a Health Check on the Business, the Chairman recognised the need to grow his Company by growing the people within it. The Company was going through huge Operational Change and the people involved needed to understand and manage their teams.

What have we done with the company?

The following important steps were taken

• We completed a tailor made Assessment and Development day for the Project Directors, all of whom were managing between 3 and 10 people in their teams.
• The Personalised Assessment consisted of Group (negotiation skills) and Individual Exercises, a Financial Awareness Exercise and Individual Interviews.
• This day highlighted a number of development needs, firstly, a “Developing Leadership Skills” course over two days.
• Two IIB Associates designed and delivered the course.
• The success of the course has ensured further Management Training within other parts of the business.

Outcomes

A series of important improvements have been achieved:

• Increased confidence and abilities of the Management team
